Effective: 20 May 2026

By submitting this deposit, you (the author or authorised depositor) grant
Amoud University the rights set out below with respect to your submission.
This is a licence, not a transfer of copyright -- you remain the copyright
holder.

1. Right to reproduce, distribute, and translate.
   You grant Amoud University the non-exclusive right to reproduce,
   distribute, and translate your submission -- including any abstract --
   worldwide, in print and electronic format and in any medium, including
   but not limited to audio or video.

2. Right to migrate for preservation.
   You agree that Amoud University may, without changing the content,
   migrate your submission to any medium or file format for the purpose of
   long-term preservation.

3. Right to retain multiple copies.
   You agree that Amoud University may keep more than one copy of your
   submission for purposes of security, back-up, and preservation,
   including off-site backups.

4. Original work warranty.
   You represent that the submission is your original work and that you
   have the right to grant the rights contained in this licence. You also
   represent that, to the best of your knowledge, your submission does not
   infringe upon any third party's copyright or other rights.

5. Third-party material.
   If your submission contains material for which you do not hold
   copyright, you represent that you have obtained the unrestricted
   permission of the copyright owner to grant Amoud University the rights
   set out in this licence, and that any such third-party material is
   clearly identified and acknowledged within the submission.

6. Sponsor obligations.
   If your submission is based on work sponsored or supported by an agency
   other than Amoud University, you represent that you have fulfilled any
   right of review or other obligations required by that contract or
   agreement.

7. Attribution and citation.
   Amoud University will clearly identify you as the author of the
   submission and will make no alteration to the content other than as
   permitted by this licence. The submission will be cited by its
   persistent identifier (ARK, and where assigned, DOI).

8. Withdrawal.
   You may request withdrawal of your submission at any time by emailing
   repository@amoud.edu.so. Withdrawn items are placed in a non-public
   state for audit purposes; they are not erased.

By accepting this licence (clicking "I Grant the Licence" on the deposit
form), you confirm that you have read and agree to its terms.
