当財団の利用規約

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。 – 財団理念

ウィキメディアへようこそ！私たちThe Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.（ウィキメディア財団、以下「私たち」もしくは「財団」）は、自由ライセンスで許諾されていたり、パブリックドメインとなっている資源を収集・発展させ、その資源を無償で効果的に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使命とする、非営利公益法人です。

私たちの活気にあふれたコミュニティーを支援するため、当財団は、多言語でのウィキによるプロジェクト群とそれらの複数言語版（説明はこちら）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、基盤設備と組織体系を提供します。当財団は、インターネットで利用可能なプロジェクト群から得られる教育的で情報的な内容を、永続的に無料とし続けられるよう、努めます。

当財団は、あなた（以下「あなた」または「利用者」）を、ウィキメディアプロジェクト群の読者や編集者、執筆者、投稿者として、歓迎しウィキメディアコミュニティ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「利用規約」）をご覧になり、ご同意くださるようお願いします。

概要

本利用規約はウィキメディア財団において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間の関係、両者を導く権利と責任について書かれています。私たちが信じられないほどの量の教育・情報コンテンツをホスト（訳注：置き場所・公開場所を提供すること）していること、それらがすべてあなたのような利用者から寄稿され実現されているということをあなたに知っていただきたいと思います。当財団は通常、コンテンツの投稿、監視、削除をしません（まれな例外として、本利用規約のような方針やDMCAのための法の遵守があります）。これは、コンテンツを作成し管理するあなたとあなたの同僚利用者の手に編集権限があるということを意味します。当財団はコンテンツをホストすることしかしません。

コミュニティ（多様なウェブサイト群またはプロジェクト群を日々築き使う利用者たちのネットワーク）は、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です。コミュニティは当財団のウェブサイト群に貢献し、その統治を助けます。コミュニティ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った言語版やウィキメディアコモンズ多言語版）において、方針を作成し執行するという、極めて重要な機能を果たします。

あなたは寄稿者、編集者、執筆者として自由に参加できますが、独立したプロジェクト群の各々を統治する方針に従うべきです。当財団のプロジェクト群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群も保管しており、それぞれに異なる目標と作業手法があります。プロジェクトそれぞれにおいて、そこでともに働きコンテンツを作成し管理する寄稿者、編集者、執筆者のチームがあります。あなたは彼らとともにプロジェクトを改善するため、そうしたチームに自由に参加できます。私たちは公衆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ますので、私たちは一般的には、あなたが寄稿するコンテンツがすべて自由ライセンスもくしはパブリックドメインのもとに置かれるよう要求します。

あなたは、アメリカ合衆国の法律およびその他の適用法（これにはあなたが居住する、あるいはコンテンツを閲覧または編集する場所の法律を含む場合があります）に基づき、ウィキメディアのコンテンツの投稿、編集および再利用すべてに法的に責任を負うことにご留意ください。コンテンツを掲載する際には十分注意することが重要です。この責任という点を踏まえ、当財団は掲載できないものについて、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。当財団が運営するコンテンツは、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。ですから、特別な質問（医学、法律または金融関連の問題など）について専門家の助言が必要な場合は、免許のある専門家または有資格の専門家の支援を求める必要があります。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。

ウィキメディア地域別協会（チャプター）をはじめとする他の組織は、当財団と同じ使命を共有していようとも、当財団とは法的には独立であり別個のものであることを明確にしておきます。それらの組織は当財団のウェブサイトの運用とコンテンツに対する責任を持ちません。

1. 財団のサービス

ウィキメディア財団は自由な多言語コンテンツの成長、開発、配布を促進すること、及びウィキに基づいたこれらのプロジェクト群を無料で公衆向けに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資料（訳注：百科事典、辞書など）のプロジェクト群をホストすることであり、それらはこちらでご覧いただけます。しかし、当財団が果たす役割は、利用者が自らコンテンツを寄稿・編集することによってウィキメディアプロジェクト群を構築できるようにするための、基盤と組織の枠組みを保守するホスティングサービスとしての役割のみです。当財団の役割には類例がないので、当財団とあなた、プロジェクト群、他の利用者とのあいだの関係を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。

  1. 当財団は編集者の役割を果たしません。ウィキメディアプロジェクト群は共同作業によって編集されるため、当財団が保管するコンテンツはすべてあなたのような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、当財団が通常プロジェクトのウェブサイト群のコンテンツを監視または編集せず、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。同様にして、当財団は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し、コミュニティに提出されたいかなるコンテンツの真実性、正確性、信頼性も主張せず、保証しません。その代わり、当財団はあなたの同僚利用者が投稿、編集したコンテンツを届けることだけをします。
  2. 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、ウィキメディア・プロジェクトの自分の編集および投稿に対して法的に責任を負います。自分自身を守るために十分注意を払い、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コンテンツの投稿を避けるべきです。明確にしておくと、適用法には少なくともアメリカ合衆国の法律が含まれます。当財団が同意しない可能性がある行動ではあるものの、あなたが居住する、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を含め、他の国の法律を関係当局があなたに適用しようとする可能性があることを、編集者および投稿者に警告します。ウィキメディア財団（WMF）は通常、いかなる保護、保証、免除または補償も提供できません。

2. 個人情報保護方針

当財団の個人情報保護方針の条項を精査し、当財団がどのようにあなたの情報を収集・使用しているのかを認識していただくようお願いします。当財団のサービスは世界中の人々に使用されているため、収集された個人情報はアメリカ合衆国や当財団および当財団の業務代行者が維持管理している施設のあるその他の国で、保管され処理される可能性があります。当財団のサービスを使用すると、このようにあなたの国の外に情報が移動することに同意することになります。

3. 財団が保存するコンテンツ

  1. 一部の資料が好ましくない、あるいは間違っていると感じる可能性があります： 当財団は仲間である利用者が生成したり収集したりする広範なコンテンツを提供しているため、あなたにとって、不快である、間違っている、誤解を招く、偽装されている、または何らかの意味で好ましくないと感じられる資料に遭遇するかもしれません。そのため、当財団のサービスを利用するときには常識と適切な判断を駆使してください。
  2. 当財団のコンテンツは、一般的な情報提供のみを目的としています：当財団は、医学、法律または金融関連の問題を含め、専門的な話題に関連する情報を大量にホスティングしているものの、こうしたコンテンツは一般的な情報提供のみを目的として提示されています。これらを専門的な助言として見なすべきではありません。プロジェクトのウェブサイト上の情報、意見または助言に従って行動するのではなく、該当する地域の免許保持者または有資格者から、独立した専門的なカウンセリングを求めてください。

4. 特定の活動の制限

ウィキメディア財団が運営するプロジェクトは、コンテンツを共同で執筆、編集および監督する、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のためだけに存在しています。当財団は、あなたがこのコミュニティへ参加することを喜んで歓迎します。節度と礼儀を持ってコミュニティ内での他の人とやり取りをするよう、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投稿を行うようお願いします。

合法であれ違法であれ、ある種の活動は他の利用者を傷つけたり、財団の規則に違反したりすることがあり、あなたの責任問題となることもあります。ゆえに、あなた自身の保護と他の利用者の保護のため、財団のサイト上でそのような活動を行なってはいけません。そのような活動には以下のものが含まれます：

他の利用者への嫌がらせや侮辱
  • いやがらせ、脅迫、ストーキング、スパム送信、荒らしなどへの関与
  • チェーンメール、ジャンクメール、スパムメールなどを他の利用者へ送信すること
他者のプライバシーの侵害
  • アメリカ合衆国法やその他の準拠法（あなたの居住地や閲覧または編集を行なっている場所を含む）における他者のプライバシー権を侵害すること
  • いやがらせ、宣伝、プライバシーの侵害などを目的としたり、ウィキメディア財団が明確に許可したものでない、それ以外のあらゆる広告または商業活を目的として、個人情報を収集すること
  • 違法目的や未成年者の健康と幸福追求に関するあらゆる準拠法の侵害を目的とした、18才以下のすべての人の個人情報を収集すること
虚偽記載、なりすまし、詐欺行為への関与
  • 名誉毀損や中傷となる内容を故意に投稿すること
  • だます目的で、間違っていたり不正確な内容を投稿すること
  • 他の個人や利用者になりすましたり、あらゆる特定・実在機関への所属を虚偽記載したり、だます目的で他の利用者の利用者名を使用すること
  • 詐欺に関与すること

  • Infringing copyrights, trademarks, patents, or other proprietary rights under applicable law.
Misusing Our Services for Other Illegal Purposes
  • Posting child pornography or any other content that violates applicable law concerning child pornography;
  • 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 our users;
  • Engaging in automated uses of the site that are abusive or disruptive of the services and have not been approved by the Wikimedia community;
  • Disrupting the services by placing an undue burden on a Project website or the networks or servers connected with a 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 MediaWiki developers (or fix it yourself); and
  • you do not undertake such actions with malicious or destructive intent.

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. パスワードのセキュリティー

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

6. 商標

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:

    (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.


    4. 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. デジタルミレニアム著作権法(DMCA)の遵守

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 legal@wikimedia.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 info@wikimedia.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. ウェブサイトの管理

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. 免責事項

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.

ありがとうございました！

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.

These Terms of Use went into effect on June 16, 2014. Previous versions of the terms:
