Unless otherwise stated, the information provided on this website maintained by the Australian Dental Industry Association Limited (ADIA) is provided under the terms of this creative commons public licence "the Licence". The work is protected by the Copyright Act (Cth) 1968 and other applicable legislation. Any use of the work other than as authorised under this Licence or the Copyright Act (Cth) 1968 is prohibited.

1 Defintions

1.1 "Collection" means the Work in its entirety in unmodified form along with one or more other separate and independent works, assembled into a collective whole. A Collection may, for example, include a periodical, encyclopedia or anthology. A Collection will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purposes of this Licence.

1.2 "Creative Commons Compatible Licence" means a licence that is listed at https://creativecommons.org/compatiblelicenses that has been approved by Creative Commons as being essentially equivalent to this Licence, including, at a minimum, because that licence:

a. contains terms that have the same purpose, meaning and effect as the Licence Elements of this Licence; and
b. explicitly permits the relicensing of derivatives of works made available under that licence under this Licence or a Creative Commons jurisdiction licence with the same Licence Elements as this Licence.

1.3 "Derivative Work" means material in any form that is created by editing, modifying or adapting the Work, a substantial part of the Work, or the Work and other pre-existing works. Derivative Works may, for example, include a translation, adaptation, musical arrangement, dramatisation, motion picture version, sound recording, art reproduction, abridgment, condensation, or any other form in which the Work may be transformed or adapted, except that a Collection will not be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this Licence. For the avoidance of doubt, where the Work is a musical composition or sound recording, the synchronization of the Work in timed-relation with a moving image ("synching") will be considered a Derivative Work for the purpose of this Licence.

1.4 "Distribute" means to make available to the public by any means, including publication, electronic communication, or broadcast.

1.5 "Licence Elements" means the following high-level licence attributes indicated in the title of this Licence: Attribution, ShareAlike.

1.8 "Reproduce" means to make a copy of the Work in any material form (eg storage in digital form).

1.9 "Work" means the material (including any work or other subject matter) protected by copyright which is offered under the terms of this Licence. This may include (without limitation) a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work; a sound recording or cinematograph film; a published edition of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work; or a television or sound broadcast.

1.10 "You" means an individual or entity exercising rights under this Licence who has not previously violated the terms of this Licence with respect to the Work, or who has received express permission from the Licensor to exercise rights under this Licence despite a previous violation.

a. When You Distribute or publicly perform the Work or any Derivative Work or Collection You must keep intact all copyright notices for the Work.

In this clause 4D, "moral rights" means the personal rights granted by law to the Original Author of a copyright work.

Clauses 6(a) and 6(b) cannot and are not intended to apply in circumstances where it is prohibited by law.

8 Licensor’s Rights Retained

8.1 Subject to the above terms, the Licence granted here is perpetual (for the duration of the applicable copyright in the Work). Notwithstanding this, the Licensor reserves the right to release the Work under different licence terms or to stop distributing the Work at any time. However, any such release will not serve to withdraw this Licence (or any other licence that has been granted under the terms of this Licence), and this Licence will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above.
