However, nothing else grants Recipient permission to use, or copy, or distribute, or modify, or create an Extension of either The Work or any Extension created by a Contributor.
These actions are prohibited by law if Recipient does not accept This License.
Therefore, by performing any of these actions, Recipient indicates that Recipient accepts This License, and Recipient agrees to be bound by all its terms and conditions.

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against any Legal Entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that The Work or a Contribution incorporated within The Work constitutes direct or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses granted to Recipient under This License for The Work shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

Effective Date for the Grants

The licenses granted in This License with respect to any Contribution become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first distributes such Contribution.

Grant Termination

The rights granted under This License will terminate automatically if Recipient fails to comply with any of its terms.
However, if Recipient becomes compliant, then the rights granted under This License from a particular Contributor are reinstated provisionally, unless and until such Contributor explicitly and finally terminates the grants to Recipient, and on an ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify Recipient of the non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 day(s) after Recipient has come back into compliance.
Moreover, grants to Recipient from a particular Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor notifies Recipient of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, and this is the first time Recipient has received notice of non-compliance with This License from such Contributor, and Recipient becomes compliant prior to 30 day(s) after reception of the notice.

Fair Use

This License is not intended to limit any rights Recipient has under applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, or fair dealing, or other equivalents.

Submission of Contribution(s)

Unless Recipient explicitly states otherwise, any intentional Submission of a Contribution for inclusion in The Work by Recipient to The Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of This License, without any additional terms or conditions.
Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify the terms of any separate license agreement Recipient may have executed with The Licensor regarding such Contribution.

Disclaimer of Warranty

Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, The Licensor provides The Work, and each Contributor provides its Contribution(s) under This License on an "as is" basis, without warranty or condition of any kind, either expressed, or implied, or statutory including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions that The Work is free of defects, or merchantable, or fit for a particular purpose, or non-infringing.

This limitation of liability shall not apply to liability for death or personal injury resulting from such party’s negligence to the extent applicable law prohibits such limitation.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion and limitation may not apply to Recipient.

Litigation

Any litigation relating to This License may be brought only in the courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal place of business.
Such litigation shall be governed by laws of that jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.

Such permission will be granted at the sole discretion of The Licensor.

Extension Distinctness

Any Extension Recipient does make and Deploy must have a distinct title so as to readily tell any subsequent user or Contributor that the Extension is by Recipient.

Source Code Form Availability

Recipient must notify the software community of the availability of the Source Code Form to any Extension created by Recipient within 1 month(s) of the date Recipient initially does Deploy, and include in such notification a description of the Extension, and instructions on how to acquire the Source Code Form via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism.
The Source Code Form must remain available via an Electronic Distribution Mechanism for no less than 12 month(s) after the date Recipient ceases to Deploy.
