Your freedoms under this license apply to all copyright, patents and neighbouring rights (rights in a sound recording or performance) that vest in the work. However, you still must ensure that you do not infringe any:
The licensor makes no guarantee to you as to:
The license also contains a general disclaimer of liability. In most cases, you cannot sue the licensor, even if you suffer injuries or financial harm due to errors, inaccuracies, or faults on the part of the licensor.
You must additionally indemnify the licensor for lawsuits that relate to your use of the work. That is, in certain cases, if someone else sues the licensor, it's you who must pay for all of the licensor's legal costs and any damages (even if the licensor is at fault).
Even if the licensor releases a new version of the license with different terms, you can continue your use of the work under the original license.
However, if you retrieve an updated copy of the work, it may then come under the terms of the new license.
If a legal dispute arises between you and the licensor, it must be heard by a court at the specific location named in the license (usually within the jurisdiction of the original licensor). If this differs from your own location, any lawsuit may be more costly for you to launch or defend.
To resolve any such legal disputes, courts will interpret the license based on the laws in force at the specific location named in the license.
