   The licensee, subject to the limitations that follow from this licence, may
   use the information for any purpose and in all contexts, by:

   *
   copying the information and distributing the information to others,

   *
   modifying the information and/or combining the information with other
   information, and

   *
   copying and distributing such changed or combined information.

   This is a non-exclusive, free, perpetual and worldwide licence. The
   information may be used in any medium and format known today and/or which
   will become known in the future. The Licensee shall not sub-license or
   transfer this licence.

   (( 3. ))??
   Exemptions

   The licence does not apply to and therefore does not grant a right to use:

   *
   information which contains personal data covered by the Norwegian Personal
   Data Act unless there is a legitimate basis for the disclosure and further
   processing of the personal data

   *
   information distributed in violation of a statutory obligation to observe
   confidentiality

   *
   information excluded from public disclosure pursuant to law, including
   information deemed sensitive under the Norwegian National Security Act

   *
   information subject to third party rights which the licensor is not
   authorised to license to the licensee

   *
   information protected by intellectual property rights other than copyright
   and neighbouring rights in accordance with Chapter 5 of the Norwegian
   Copyright Act, such as trademarks, patents and design rights, but this does
   not entail an impediment to use information where the licensor's logo has
   been permanently integrated into the information or to attribute the origin
   of the information in accordance with the article below relating to
   attribution.

   If the licensor has made available information not covered by the licence
   according to the above list, the licensee must cease all use of the
   information under the licence, and erase the information as soon as he or she
   becomes aware of or should have understood that the information is not
   covered by the licence.

   (( 4. ))??
   Effects of breach of the licence

   The licence is subject to the licensee's compliance with the terms and
   conditions of this licence. In the event that the licensee commits a breach
   of this licence, this will entail that the licensee's right to use the
   information will be revoked immediately without further notice. In case of
   such a breach, the licensee must immediately and without further notice take
   measures to cause the infringement to end. Because the right to use the
   information has been terminated, the licensee must cease all use of the
   information by virtue of the licence.

   (( 5. ))??
   Attribution

   The licensee shall attribute the licensor as specified by the licensor and
   include a reference to this licence. To the extent practically possible, the
   licensee shall provide a link to both this licence and the source of the
   information.

   If the licensor has not specified how attributions shall be made, the
   licensee shall normally state the following: «Contains data under the
   Norwegian licence for Open Government data (NLOD) distributed by [name of
   licensor]».

   If the licensor has specified that the information shall only be available
   under a specific version of this licence, cf. Section 10, the licensee shall
   also state this.

   If the information has been changed, the licensee must clearly indicate that
   changes have been made by the licensee.

   (( 6. ))??
   Proper use

   The licensee shall not use the information in a manner that appears
   misleading nor present the information in a distorted or incorrect manner.

   Neither the licensor's nor other contributors' names or trademarks must be
   used to support, recommend or market the licensee or any products or services
   using the information.

   (( 7. ))??
   Disclaimer of liability

   The information is licensed «as is». The information may contain errors and
   omissions. The licensor provides no warranties, including relating to the
   content and relevance of the information.

   The licensor disclaims any liability for errors and defects associated with
   the information to the maximum extent permitted by law.

   The licensor shall not be liable for direct or indirect losses as a result of
   use of the information or in connection with copying or further distribution
   of the information.

   (( 8. ))??
   Guarantees regarding data quality and accessibility

   This licence does not prevent the licensor from issuing supplementary
   statements regarding expected or intended data quality and accessibility.
   Such statements shall be regarded as indicative in nature and not binding on
   the part of the licensor. The disclaimers in Section 7 also apply in full for
   such indicative statements. Based on separate agreement, the licensor may
   provide guarantees and distribute the information on terms and conditions
   different from those set forth in this licence.

   (( 9. ))??
   Licence compatibility

   If the licensee is to distribute an adapted or combined work based on
   information covered by this licence and some other work licensed under a
   licence compatible by contract, such distribution may be based on an
   appropriate licence compatible by contract, cf. the list below.

   A licence compatible by contract shall mean the following licences:

   *
   for all information: Open Government Licence (version 1.0),

   *
   for those parts of the information which do not constitute databases:
   Creative Commons Attribution Licence (generic version 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 and
   unported version 3.0) and Creative Commons Navngivelse 3.0 Norge,

   *
   for those parts of the information which constitute databases: Open Data
   Commons Attribution License (version 1.0).

   This provision does not prevent other licences from being compatible with
   this licence based on their content.

   (( 10. ))??
   New versions of the licence

   The licensee may choose to use the information covered by this licence under
   any new versions of the Norwegian licence for Open Government data (NLOD)
   issued by the responsible ministry (currently the Ministry of Government
   Administration, Reform and Church Affairs) when these versions are final and
   official, unless the licensor when making the information available under
   this licence specifically has stated that solely version 1.0 of this licence
   may be used.

   (( 11. ))??
   Governing law and legal venue

This licence, including its formation, and any disputes and claims arising in
connection with or relating to this licence, shall be regulated by Norwegian
law. The legal venue shall be the licensor's ordinary legal venue. The licensor
may, with regard to intellectual proprietary rights, choose to pursue a claim at
other competent legal venues and/or based on the laws of the country where the
intellectual property rights are sought enforced.
