Terms & Conditions

COPYING OF TEXT AND IMAGES FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY

You may display a single personal copy for purposes of an academic lecture or seminar, provided that no further duplication occurs or is allowed to occur.

You must include with each image or text a copyright notice and acknowledgement to: University of Aberdeen.

You may not duplicate the image or text in any medium for another person or institution.

You may incorporate the URL for an image, but not the image itself, in a personal hypertext document. The image files must always be downloaded direct from the University server.

PUBLICATION AND OTHER USES OF UNIVERSITY IMAGES

If you would like to reproduce an image in electronic or any other form, including for any of the uses listed below, you must obtain the specific written permission of the University of Aberdeen in advance, see here for further details. Please also see our full Terms & Conditions.

• Publication in any form of hard copy (including book, periodical, partwork, merchandise).
• Use in television, film or video.
• Publication in any electronic form of an image, whether modified or not.
• Duplication of an image in any networked or public site, or in any "virtual library" (but you may incorporate the URL for an image, though not the image itself, in your personal hypertext).
• Public display in any form of electronic or hard copy (except for a single copy for use in an academic lecture or seminar).
• The production of multiple copies by any means for use in any teaching pack.

In the case of images of recent materials where a copyright still exists separate from the University's rights, the written consent of the copyright owner as well as the University will be required. Though we cannot undertake to advise on the ownership of copyright in any particular case, we will give what assistance we can to users who need to secure such consents.
