To allow the best compromise between allowing easy legal access to content on
Vetlucent.com and simultaneously ensuring that contributing users maintain control over
both attribution and commercial use of images submitted, all content is provided under
a license. Further details of these modifications are outlined in our Terms of Use. By browsing our site, you create an agreement with us and agree to be bound by
these terms of use.
In plain language
This summary does not replace the full license, nor the modifications outlined in our
terms of use, but it should help you make sense of how you can and can't use
content on Vetlucent.
What you're allowed to do
you may...
- copy contents and
- alter and/or build upon it
as long as you...
- attribute the work appropriately (see below for how)
- do not use the work commercially (either directly or indirectly)
If you would like to obtain permission to use content from Vetlucent.com outside of
this license, it is certainly possible.
In the case of images submitted by users, please contact us and we will pass on the
request to the user.
In the case of text which forms part of an article, then please contact Vetlucent.com
directly at license@vetlucent.com.
How to attribute content
Attribution for images
Please include both the name of the contributing user and Vetlucent.com.
e.g. Case courtesy of Dr Allison Zwingenberger, Vetlucent.com
If you are using the work online, then please also include a direct link to the
original case, to the homepage, and to this license page.

Attribution of text
Please simply reference it as you would another text source.

Again, if your work is online, please include a link back to the original article.
Use of images by contributors
By contributing images to Vetlucent, you are not changing the ownership of any
intellectual property that exists, you are merely making the images available under the
aforementioned license with the modifications to that license outlined in the Vetlucent
terms of use.
As the contributor, you can, therefore, do everything you could normally do with the
images you have contributed. There is no need to reference Vetlucent if you don't
want to. You don't need to ask us to grant permission to use the images in a
textbook or commercial project.
You can also control how involved you are with license requests we receive in your account settings.
