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).
If the licensor updates or makes any changes to the license, you are immediately bound by the new terms. You cannot keep using work under the previous 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.
