The University of Western Sydney owns the copyright to the animations and the VisChem project team is very keen for these resources to be used as widely as possible. The University will not object to any non-profit use of the animations for educational purposes. After all, Government CAUT funds were used to produce them in 1993/1994.

High quality versions of the animations need to be purchased directly from VEA as described elsewhere. However, compressed versions suitable for web delivery will be available from the AUTC site.
