WORLD BANK IGO RIDER - PROCEDURAL TERMS

Where the Licensor is an intergovernmental organization (IGO), the following additional terms shall apply. These terms are part of the License. Exercise of any permission granted under the License constitutes acceptance of these terms:

  1. Privileges and Immunities Nothing in this License shall constitute or be interpreted as a waiver, express or implied, of any privileges and immunities that apply to the Licensor pursuant to international law, treaties, or the Licensor's constituent documents, including immunity from jurisdiction and execution. The Licensor does not submit to the jurisdiction of any national court by virtue of this License. No act of the Licensor in connection with this License — including its preparation, distribution, or administration — shall be construed as a waiver of any such immunity. The Licensor shall not be joined as a party to any legal or arbitral proceeding arising from or relating to this License or Work without its prior express written consent, and no such consent shall be implied from any conduct of the Licensor.
  2. Dispute Resolution Any dispute arising under this License that involves the Licensor shall be resolved, to the extent not settled amicably, through the following procedures:
    • The party raising the dispute shall deliver written notice to the Licensor specifying the nature of the dispute in reasonable detail. The 45-day mediation period commences upon the Licensor's receipt of such notice. During that period, the parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute amicably. If the Licensor so designates, mediation shall be conducted under rules specified by the Licensor; otherwise, the UNCITRAL Mediation Rules shall apply.
    • If the dispute is not resolved within 45 days of receipt of the written notice, either party may refer it to final and binding arbitration under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules then in force, before a sole arbitrator, conducted in English. The juridical seat of arbitration shall be Washington, D.C., United States, as a matter of procedural convenience only, and conducted remotely when practicable.
  3. Interpretation under International Law This License shall be interpreted in accordance with general principles of international law, including those reflected in the Berne Convention (1971), the WIPO Copyright Treaty (1996), and the Universal Copyright Convention (1971). No provision shall be interpreted in a manner that derogates from the legal status of the Licensor under international law.
  4. No Waiver No provision of this License shall be deemed waived and no breach consented to unless expressly agreed in writing and signed by the Licensor.
  5. Entire Agreement This License constitutes the entire agreement between the Licensee and the Licensor concerning the Work and supersedes any additional terms submitted by You. No modification shall be effective unless agreed in writing by both parties.
  6. Severability If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, it shall be interpreted to give effect to its purpose to the extent permitted by applicable law, and the remainder of the License shall remain in full force and effect. In particular, if Section 2 (Dispute Resolution) is held unenforceable in whole or in part, that holding shall not affect the enforceability of Section 1 (Privileges and Immunities) or any other provision of these Additional Terms.
  7. Precedence In the event of any inconsistency between these Additional Terms for IGOs and the terms of the Apache License, Version 2.0, these Additional Terms for IGOs shall prevail.
