    1.3 This O-UDA does not restrict your use, modification, or distribution of any portions of the Data that are in the public domain or that may be used, modified, or distributed under any other legal exception or limitation.

2. **No Restrictions on Use or Results**

    3.1. You may redistribute the Data under terms of your choice, so long as:

      3.1.1. You include with any Data you redistribute all credit or attribution information that you received with the Data, and your terms require any Downstream Recipient to do the same; and

NEITHER DATA PROVIDER NOR ANY UPSTREAM DATA PROVIDER SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE DATA OR RESULTS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

5. **Definitions**

    5.1. "Data" means the material you receive under the O-UDA in modified or unmodified form, but not including Results.

    5.2. "Data Provider" means the source from which you receive the Data and with whom you enter into the O-UDA.

    5.4. "Result" means anything that you develop or improve from your use of Data that does not include more than a de minimis portion of the Data on which the use is based.  Results may include de minimis portions of the Data necessary to report on or explain use that has been conducted with the Data, such as figures in scientific papers, but do not include more.  Artificial intelligence models trained on Data (and which do not include more than a de minimis portion of Data) are Results.
