Terms of Use

Information for contributors to HerpWiki

All users contributing to HerpWiki are required to grant broad permissions to the general public to re-distribute and re-use their contributions freely, as long as the use is attributed. Therefore, for any content you hold the copyright to, by submitting it, you agree to license it under the CC-BY-NC-ND License.

As an author, you agree to be attributed in any of the following fashions: a) through a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to the article or articles you contributed to, b) through a hyperlink (where possible) or URL to an alternative, stable online copy which is freely accessible, which conforms with the license, and which provides credit to the authors in a manner equivalent to the credit given on this website, or c) through a list of all authors. (Any list of authors may be filtered to exclude very small or irrelevant contributions.)

Importing content:

If you want to import content that you have found elsewhere or that you have co-authored with others, you can only do so if it is available under terms that are compatible with the CC-BY-NC-ND license.

If you import content under a compatible license which requires attribution, you must, in a reasonable fashion, credit the author(s). Where such credit is commonly given through page histories , it is sufficient to give attribution in the edit summary, which is recorded in the page history, when importing the content. Regardless of the license, the content you import may be rejected if the required attribution is deemed too intrusive.

Information for re-users

You can re-use content from HerpWiki freely, with the exception of content that is used under "fair use" exemptions, or similar exemptions of copyright law. Please follow the guidelines below:
