NonCommercial (NC): You can’t use iBiology videos (or any parts of them) for commercial purposes.
NonDerivative (ND): You cannot alter the videos in any way. This means you cannot edit, remix, cut, shorten, add overlays or alter them in any way.
These conditions can be modified only by explicit permission of iBiology, Inc. The complete text of the license can be seen on the Creative Commons (CC) license website.
