재단의 이용 약관

개개인이 모든 지식을 모으는 데 동등하고 자유롭게 참여할 수 있는 세상을 그려보십시오. 우리가 그런 세상을 만들겠습니다. – 재단의 미래상 선언

위키미디어에 오신 것을 환영합니다! 위키미디어 재단(이하 "재단")은 비영리 자선 단체이며, 재단의 사명은 전 세계 사람이 자유 라이선스나 퍼블릭 도메인으로 콘텐츠를 모으고 발전시켜 효율적으로 세계 곳곳에 대가 없이 이를 보급할 수 있도록 허용하고 권장하는 것입니다.

활기찬 커뮤니티를 지원하고자 재단에서는 다언어 위키 프로젝트와 그 언어판(설명)의 개발을 위한 필수 기반 시설과 조직의 틀을 제공하고 이 사명에 기여하는 그 밖의 노력을 합니다. 재단은 인터넷에서 이용할 수 있는, 프로젝트의 교육, 정보 콘텐츠를 영원히 무료로 만들어 유지하는 데 힘씁니다.

재단은 사용자(이하 “사용자”)를 위키미디어 프로젝트의 독자, 편집자, 저작자 또는 기여자로서 환영하며 위키미디어 공동체에 참여하기를 권장합니다. 단, 참여하기에 앞서 다음의 이용 약관(“이용 약관”)을 읽고 이에 동의하기를 요청합니다.

개요

이 이용 약관은 위키미디어 재단의 공익 사업, 사용자와 재단의 관계 및 양자 모두에 영향을 끼치는 권리와 책임을 설명합니다. 재단은 엄청난 양의 교육·정보 콘텐츠를 호스팅하고 있으며 이는 사용자가 기여해서 가능하게 된 것임을 알아 주셨으면 합니다. 재단은 일반적으로 콘텐츠를 기여하거나 감시하거나 삭제하지 않습니다(단, 드물게 이 이용 약관과 같은 정책이나 DMCA 고지를 준수하는 경우에는 예외). 편집권은 콘텐츠를 생성하고 관리하는 사용자에게 있습니다. 재단은 이 콘텐츠를 단지 호스팅할 뿐입니다.

다양한 웹사이트나 프로젝트를 끊임없이 구축하여 이용하는 사용자의 네트워크인 공동체는 재단 사명의 목적을 달성하는 주요한 수단입니다. 공동체는 재단 웹사이트에 기여하며 웹사이트의 관리를 도와 줍니다. 공동체는 특정한 프로젝트 언어판(위키백과 프로젝트의 다양한 언어판이나 위키미디어 공용 다중 언어판)에 맞는 정책을 만들어 집행하는 중대한 역할을 합니다.

기여자, 편집자 또는 저작자로 참여하는 것을 환영하지만 독립적 프로젝트 각각을 규율하는 정책을 준수해야 합니다. 가장 큰 프로젝트는 위키백과이지만 재단은 각각 다른 목표와 작업 방식이 있는 프로젝트도 호스팅하고 있습니다. 각 프로젝트 언어판에는 콘텐츠를 생성하여 관리하기 위해 함께 활동하는 기여자, 편집자 또는 저작자 모임이 있습니다. 사용자가 이러한 모임에 합류해 프로젝트를 발전시키는 것을 환영합니다. 재단은 콘텐츠를 일반 대중이 자유롭게 이용하는 데에 전념하기 때문에 사용자가 기여하는 모든 콘텐츠는 자유 라이선스나 퍼블릭 도메인에 따라 이용될 수 있도록 일반적으로 요구하는 것입니다.

사용자는 위키미디어 콘텐츠에 대한 기여, 편집 및 재사용에 대해 미국 법률과 그 밖의 관련 법률(사용자가 거주하거나 콘텐츠를 열람 또는 편집하는 곳의 법을 포함할 수도 있음)에 따라 법적 책임이 있음을 꼭 알고 계십시오. 이는 콘텐츠를 게시할 때 주의해야 함을 의미합니다. 이 책임 문제 때문에, 재단은 사용자가 무엇을 게시할 수 없는지에 관한 몇 가지 규칙이 있으며, 그 대부분은 사용자를 보호하기 위한 것입니다. 재단에서 호스팅하고 있는 콘텐츠는 일반적인 정보 목적만을 위한 것으로 사용자가 특정한 문제(의료, 법률, 금융 문제 등)에 대한 전문가의 조언을 원한다면 면허나 자격이 있는 전문가의 도움을 요청해야 함을 부디 명심하십시오. 또한 다른 중요한 알림 및 면책 조항이 있으니 이용 약관 전부를 꼭 읽으십시오.

기타 단체 이를테면 지역 위키미디어 지부와 협력 단체는 재단의 사명에 기여할지라도 법적으로 독립적이며 위키미디어 재단과 분리되어 있고, 웹사이트와 그 콘텐츠의 운영에 대해 아무런 책임이 없음을 분명하게 밝힙니다.

1. 재단의 서비스

위키미디어 재단은 자유로운 다언어 콘텐츠의 성장과 발전, 보급을 장려하고, 이 위키 기반의 프로젝트 콘텐츠를 무료로 호스팅하는 것에 최선을 다하고 있습니다. 재단의 임무는 여기에서 찾아볼 수 있듯이 세계에서 가장 크고 함께 편집한 프로젝트의 자료를 호스팅하는 것입니다. 하지만 재단은 콘텐츠를 호스팅만 하고, 사용자가 콘텐츠를 편집하거나 기부하여 위키미디어 프로젝트를 만들 수 있도록 기반 시설과 조직의 틀을 유지합니다. 재단의 독특한 임무 때문에, 사용자와 프로젝트 그리고 다른 사용자와의 관계를 생각할 때 다음 두 가지를 알아야 합니다.

1. 재단은 편집에 관여하지 않습니다: 위키미디어 프로젝트는 공동으로 편집되는 프로젝트이며, 재단에서 호스팅하는 모든 콘텐츠는 사용자들이 기여한 것으로 재단은 편집에 관여하지 않습니다. 이는 재단은 프로젝트 웹사이트에 있는 내용을 주시하거나 편집하지 않으며, 콘텐츠에 대해 어떤 책임도 지지 않음을 의미합니다. 마찬가지로, 재단에서 제공하는 서비스에서 표현되는 어떠한 의견이라도 지지하는 것이 아니며 어떠한 공동체 콘텐츠에 대해서도 진실성, 정확성, 신뢰성을 표현하거나 보증하지 않습니다. 대신, 재단은 사용자가 편집하고 기부한 콘텐츠에 단순히 접근할 수 있게 합니다.
2. 사용자는 자신의 행동에 책임을 져야 합니다: 사용자는 위키미디어 프로젝트에 대한 편집과 기여에 법적으로 책임이 있습니다. 따라서 자신을 보호하기 위해서는 주의하여 사용자의 준거법 하에서 민사상이나 형사상 책임을 질 수 있는 콘텐츠를 기부하지 말아야 합니다. 준거법은 적어도 미국의 법률을 포함한다는 점을 분명히 밝힙니다. 재단은 그런 행위에 동의하지 않지만, 재단은 편집자와 기여자에게 당국이 자신이 거주하거나 콘텐츠를 읽거나 편집하는 곳의 법을 포함해 다른 나라의 법을 적용할 수 있다는 것을 경고합니다. 재단은 어떠한 보호나 보증, 면책, 보상을 일반적으로 제공할 수 없습니다.

2. 개인정보 정책

재단의 개인정보 정책을 확인해 주시기 바랍니다. 그러면 자신의 정보가 어떻게 수집되고 이용되는지 알게 될 것입니다. 재단의 서비스는 전 세계 사람들이 이용하고 있기 때문에, 재단에서 수집한 개인 정보가 미국이나 재단 설비가 갖춰진 다른 나라에 저장되거나 처리될 수 있습니다. 재단의 서비스를 이용함으로써, 사용자는 자신의 국가 밖으로 정보가 전송되는 것에 동의합니다.

3. 재단이 호스팅하는 콘텐츠

1. 사용자는 혐오스럽거나 잘못된 정보를 찾을 수도 있습니다: 사용자가 조직하고 생산한 광범위한 정보를 제공하기 때문에, 혐오스럽거나, 오류가 있거나, 오도하거나, 오기되거나 다른 면에서 불쾌할 수 있는 정보를 찾을 수도 있습니다. 재단의 서비스를 이용할 때 자신의 상식과 올바른 판단에 따르십시오.
2. 재단에서 제공하는 콘텐츠는 일반적인 정보를 위한 것입니다: 재단은 의료, 법률, 금융 문제를 비롯한 전문적인 주제를 다룬 많은 정보를 호스팅하고 있습니다만, 어디까지나 일반적인 정보를 찾는 목적으로만 제공됩니다. 이것은 전문적인 조언으로 받아들여져서는 안 됩니다. 프로젝트 웹 사이트에 있는 정보나 의견, 조언을 바탕으로 어떤 행동을 하기 보다는 해당 분야에 면허가 있거나 자격이 있는 전문가에게 별도로 문의하십시오.

4. 특정 행위 금지

위키미디어 재단이 호스팅하는 프로젝트들은 협력하여 글을 쓰고, 편집하고, 콘텐츠를 만들어 가는 사용자들의 활기찬 공동체 덕분에 존재할 수 있습니다. 재단은 이 공동체에 사용자가 참여하는 것을 기쁘게 생각합니다. 재단은 사용자가 공동체에서 다른 사용자와 상호작용하면서 예의를 갖추고, 좋은 뜻으로 행동하며, 프로젝트의 사명을 이루는 데 기여해 줄 것을 당부드립니다.

어떤 행위는, 그것이 합법이든 불법이든, 다른 사용자에게 해롭고 재단의 규칙을 어길 수 있으며, 또 어떤 행위는 자신에게 법적 책임을 지울 수도 있습니다. 따라서 자신과 다른 사용자를 보호하기 위해 재단 웹사이트에서 특정한 행위를 해서는 안 됩니다. 그러한 행위는 다음 내용을 포함합니다.

Paid contributions without disclosure

These Terms of Use prohibit engaging in deceptive activities, including misrepresentation of affiliation, impersonation, and fraud. As part of these obligations, you must disclose your employer, client, 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.

Applicable law, or community and Foundation policies and guidelines, such as those addressing conflicts of interest, may further limit paid contributions or require more detailed disclosure.

A Wikimedia Project community may adopt an alternative paid contribution disclosure policy. If a Project adopts an alternative disclosure policy, you may comply with that policy instead of the requirements in this section when contributing to that Project. An alternative paid contribution policy will only supersede these requirements if it is approved by the relevant Project community and listed in the alternative disclosure policy page.

For more information, please read our FAQ on disclosure of paid contributions.

We reserve the right to exercise our enforcement discretion with respect to the above terms.

5. Password Security

You are responsible for safeguarding your own password and should never disclose it to any third party.

6. Trademarks

Although you have considerable freedoms for re-use 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 Trademark Policy.

7. Licensing of Content

To grow the commons of free knowledge and free culture, all users contributing to the Projects are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely, so long as that use is properly attributed and the same freedom to re-use and re-distribute 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 cares to access it.

You agree to the following licensing requirements:

1. Text to which you hold the copyright: When you submit text to which you hold the copyright, you agree to license it under:

   • Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License (“CC BY-SA”), and
   • GNU Free Documentation License (“GFDL”) (unversioned, with no invariant sections, front-cover texts, or back-cover texts).

   (Re-users may comply with either license or both.)

   
   
   

   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 that particular license. For example, at the publication of this version of the Terms of Use, English Wikinews mandates that all text content is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.5 Generic License (CC BY 2.5) and does not require a dual license with GFDL.

   
   
   

   Please note that these licenses do allow commercial uses of your contributions, as long as such uses are compliant with the terms.

2. 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:
   1. Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article to which you contributed (since each article has a history page that lists all authors and editors);
   2. 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
   3. Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).
3. Importing text: You may import text that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, but in such case you warrant that the text is available under terms that are compatible with the CC BY-SA 3.0 license (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the Project edition or feature)("CC BY-SA"). Content available only under GFDL is not permissible.




You agree that, if you import text under a CC BY-SA 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.

4. 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 re-use and re-distribution. When you contribute non-text media, you agree to comply with the requirements for such licenses as described in our Licensing Policy, and also comply with the requirements of the specific Project edition or feature to which you are contributing. Also see the Wikimedia Commons Licensing Policy for more information on contributing non-text media to that Project.
5. 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 Wikimedia Projects or features, even if you terminate use of our services.
6. 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.
7. Re-use: Re-use of content that we host is welcome, though exceptions exist for content contributed under "fair use" or similar exemptions under copyright law. Any re-use must comply with the underlying license(s).
   
   

   When you re-use or re-distribute a text page developed by the Wikimedia community, you agree to attribute the authors in any of the following fashions:

   1. Through hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the page or pages that you are re-using (since each page has a history page that lists all authors and editors);
   2. 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
   3. Through a list of all authors (but please note that any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions).

   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 “Importing text,” above). In that case, you agree to comply with the compatible CC BY-SA license and do not have the option to re-license it under GFDL. To determine the license that applies to the content that you seek to re-use or re-distribute, 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, re-users should preserve them.

   For any non-text media, you agree to comply with whatever 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 re-using any content that we host, you agree to comply with the relevant attribution requirements as they pertain to the underlying license or licenses.

8. Modifications or additions to material that you re-use: 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 3.0 or later (or, as explained above, another license when exceptionally required by the specific Project edition or feature).
   
   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.
   
   With both text content and non-text media, you agree to clearly indicate that the original work has been modified. If you are re-using 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.

8. DMCA Compliance

The Wikimedia Foundation wants to ensure that the content that we host can be re-used 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 (DMCA). Pursuant to the DMCA, we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users and account holders of our system and network who are repeat infringers.

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 Lumen Database (formerly known as Chilling Effects).

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 under the DMCA. To make such a request, please email us at legalwikimedia.org or snail mail our designated agent at this address.

Alternatively, you may make a request to our community, which often handles copyright issues faster and more effectively than 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, look here. Before filing a DMCA claim, you also have the option of sending an email to the community at infowikimedia.org.

9. Third-party Websites and Resources

You are solely responsible for your use of any third-party websites or resources. Although the Projects 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

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. In an unusual case, the need may arise, or the community may ask us, to address an especially problematic user because of significant Project disturbance or dangerous behavior. In such cases, we reserve the right, but do not have the obligation to:

• Investigate your use of the service (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 appropriate governmental request;
• Detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security, or technical issues or respond to user support requests;
• Refuse, disable, or restrict access to the contribution 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 copyright infringement;
• 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.

In the interests of our users and the Projects, in the extreme circumstance that any individual has had his or her account or access blocked under this provision, he or she is 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 Wikimedia 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 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 12 of these Terms of Use.

11. Resolutions and Project Policies

The Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees 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.

12. 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 will remain publicly available (subject to applicable policies), and, unless we notify you otherwise, 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. 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, 9-15, and 17.

13. Disputes and Jurisdiction

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).

14. Disclaimers

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 "as is" and "as available" 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.

15. Limitation on Liability

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 (USD 1000.00) 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.

16. 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 WikimediaAnnounce-L. However, we ask that you please periodically review the most up-to-date version of these Terms of Use (available at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/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.

17. Other Terms

These Terms of Use do not create an employment, agency, partnership, or joint venture relationship between you and us, the Wikimedia Foundation. 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 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 Wikimedia 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.
