This section explains your rights when using resources.

Rights

All materials are copyright. They belong to those listed in the database and are licensed through VHPT and Scran. The system design, interface and the database are copyright Scran.  You may use materials because we have negotiated rights from the owners. There are things you can do and things you cannot do based on those rights.

If you do not have a password, you have limited rights. If you have a password, you have more rights because you have entered an agreement with VHPT. This is a summary to help you understand these terms.
