3. PUBLISHER ACCESS AND USE. The following provisions are specifically directed to Users who will be registering with the Website as Publisher.
Publishers can place orders on the marketplace, specifying the type of content they need and the subject as well as the price per word and the number of words that they need (the “Content Order”). Company will make the Content Order publicly visible to the marketplace of Writers who are registered and active users on the Website. The amount reflected on the publicized Content Order where Writers can commit to fulfilling such Content Order will reflect Publisher’s assigned value for the Content Order less Company’s commission.
In order for the Publisher to place orders, Publisher must first deposit funds with the Company, which are then credited to the Publisher’s Website account. While the account credit balance is considered an advance on future orders, all funds are treated as non-refundable and belong to the Company unless otherwise refunded by the Company as provided for under this Agreement. Any amounts returned to the Publisher under the terms of this Agreement shall reduce the credit balance of the Publisher’s Website account. The credit balance reflected in the Publisher’s Website account is not interest bearing and only usable on future orders. Company is not a bank and the credit account provided under this Agreement system cannot be used to store funds. Company may request a full verification of your identity and payment information. Upon request, you must timely provide us with complete information about yourself and your business. This includes, but is not limited to, providing official government or legal documents. During verification some Account features may be temporarily limited.
Every Content Order is a binding contract between the Publisher and Company. Publisher represents and warrants that all placed Content Orders are not offensive or meant to be used on or for illegal or offensive websites or other illegal or offensive purposes. All Content Orders are placed on the content marketplace and presented to authors in a manner determined by Company and at Company’s discretion. Company does not guarantee that a piece of content will be delivered by a particular author. Moreover, so long as the Delivered Content (as defined herein) matches the requirements set out in the Content Order (which determination shall be made by Company in its sole and final discretion), Publisher agrees to accept the Delivered Content regardless of the author.
Unless it is cancelled before a Writer commits to it, the Publisher accepts to pay for each Content Order in full. The value of the Content Order will be debited from the publisher’s account balance at the time the Content Order is placed. A Publisher may cancel a placed Content Order and remove it from the marketplace before a Writer has accepted and committed to the Content Order, in which case, Publisher’s account will be recredited (and Publisher may request to have said amount refunded). Once a Writer has accepted and committed to a Publisher’s Content Order, the Publisher can no longer cancel the Content Order. Orders that are ultimately refused by the Publisher may entitle Publisher to a partial refund of the cost of the Content Order, but such refund is at the discretion of Company and subject to Company’s cancellation and refund policies. Any processed refunds will only be made via the original sending payment method. Company cannot forward funds to a third party
Any content created in response to a Content Order belongs to Company or its author unless and until the Delivered Content is accepted by the Publisher for final delivery. Publisher shall not copy or attempt to replicate any content submitted to Publisher for review unless and until Publisher has accepted the Delivered Content for final delivery. Publisher represents, warrants, and agrees that Publisher’s use of the Website and the platform and its review of Delivered Content will be done in good faith.
While editors of the Company will endeavor to review and revise the Delivered Content in order to ensure a minimum degree of compliance with the Publisher’s requirements, this does not guarantee that the Delivered Content will be suitable for the use intended by the Publisher. As we cannot judge from the limited information provided on the Content Order what the end use of the content is, Company does not make any representations or warranties that the Delivered Content will be usable every time or at all.
A Content Order can be made only for authorized brands and Publisher warrants to use any Delivered Content only on that brand’s website or communications. Company reserves the right to accept or refuse the registration of some or all of a Publisher’s brands or website for any reason
Company reserves the right to accept or refuse the placing of some or all of a Publisher’s Content Orders for any reason or no reason. Company reserves the right to close Publisher’s account for any reason and issue a refund of any credit balance in Publisher’s account.
4. WRITER ACCESS AND USE. The following provisions are specifically directed to Users who will be registering with the Website as Writer.
Writers can review the Content Orders on the marketplace and can commit to the authorship and delivery of a particular Content Order by accepting such order. Different Writers may be presented with different orders and/or different prices on the Website marketplace.
Any accepted order from the marketplace becomes a binding contract for content delivery between Writer and Company and Writer must ensure submission of written content (“Submitted Content”) that meets the description and criteria set forth in the Content Order and within the timeframe set forth in the Content Order.
Writer represents, warrants, and agrees that all written content provided by Writer in response to any Content Order will be completely original and does not violate or infringe upon the copyright rights or other intellectual property rights of any third party. The use of “content spinners”, automated content generation software, AI content writing technology or any similar technology that lets a user generate content with only partial or without any human input is strictly prohibited and will result in immediate termination of Writer’s account and confiscation of any balances. In the case of plagiarism, copyright infringement, or any other breach of the Agreement with respect to Submitted Content, any money owed to Writer for such Submitted Content will be void and cancelled.
Some orders require that your real name be published alongside the article. By committing to such an order, you agree to have your real name be published on the brand’s website. In the event Writer chooses to ascribe a “pen-name” or alias to the Submitted Content, Writer agrees that such name shall be original and not to use any name or alias that is offensive or an impersonation of any known figure.
All Submitted Content will be reviewed by the Company’s editors for basic conformity and compliance with the scope and terms of the Content Order. If the Submitted Content is approved by Company’s editors, then the Submitted Content will be delivered to the Publisher (the “Delivered Content”). Writer recognizes that any content delivered to Company, including work in progress or orders that are ultimately not used or published, belong to Company and/or the Publisher which placed the Content Order (for Delivered Content that is accepted by Publisher). Writer agrees to sign, upon request, affidavits or other legal documents confirming the full transfer of all copyright rights in and to any Submitted Content. Company retains the right to refuse any piece of Submitted Content for any reason or no reasons, and no payment will be due unless the Submitted Content is finally accepted as delivered by both Company and the Publisher. In the case of Delivered Content that is nonetheless refused by Publisher, Writer may receive a partial payment for the Delivered Content at the discretion of Company and subject to Company’s cancellation and refund policies.
Payment for Delivered Content is done exclusively through Stripe and Writer must use only a personal account or a company account for which Writer is a beneficial owner. The Company’s website and platform cannot be used as a mean of money transfer. Company may request a full verification of Writer’s identity and payment information. Upon request, you must timely provide us with complete information about yourself and, if applicable, your business. This includes, but is not limited to, providing official government or legal documents. During verification some Account features may be temporarily limited.
Writer is solely responsible for Writer’s compliance with all applicable tax laws. Company does not make any retentions on behalf of the government or provide any documentation necessary to complete your tax obligations. Writer remains at all time an independent contractor and is never considered an employee of Company. Company does not provide health insurance or any other benefits to Writer
Company reserves the right to accept or refuse Writers or Submitted Content for any reason. Company reserves the right to allow or prevent a specific author or group of authors to committing to a particular Content Order or any Content Order for any reason or no reason.
Company can terminate Writer’s account and this Agreement at any time and for any reason or no reason. In this case, your account balance will be repaid in accordance with Company’s refund policies unless the Agreement was terminated as a result of Writer’s breach of this Agreement, in which case the amount in
Writer’s account shall be voided and may be retained by Company.
Company shall pay Writer any amounts owed under this Agreement on a monthly basis. Company reserves the right to hold back on any payments until such time as Writer has executed and delivered any documentation requested by Company from Writer in connection with the confirmation of the assignment of Writer’s copyrights rights to any Delivered Content to Company.
Any attribution for any Delivered Content will be at the sole discretion of Publisher or Company and Writer acknowledges and understands that Writer will not be entitled to receive any attribution for any Delivered Content and hereby expressly agrees and waives any right of attribution relative to any Delivered Content.

Any copying, redistribution, use or publication by you of any such content or any part of the Website is prohibited, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Under no circumstances will you acquire any ownership rights or other interest in any content by or through your use of the Website.
6. OWNERSHIP OF USER CONTENT.
For any and all Submitted Content by Writer to Publisher, Writer assigns, conveys, and transfers to Company all right, title and interest in and to the ownership of such Submitted Content, including all copyright rights. Writer hereby waives any and all moral rights, including the right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent modification, that Writer has or may have in any Submitted Content assigned to the Company hereunder. To the extent that any of the rights assigned herein cannot presently be assigned under applicable law, Writer agrees to assign such rights as soon as permitted and to execute, from time to time, all documents necessary to confirm such assignment promptly upon request, and hereby irrevocably appoints Company as Writer’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing such assignments in Writer’s name. To the extent that any of the rights assigned herein revert at any time or for any reason to Writer, Writer agrees to assign such rights back to Company without cost.
Following Publisher’s acceptance of the Delivered Content and payment to Writer for such Delivered Content, then Company, upon Publisher’s written request, will execute an assignment agreement which assigns over the right, title and interest in and to the copyrights to the Delivered Content to Publisher. In the event Publisher rejects delivery of the Delivered Content and Writer receives partial payment under the terms of this Agreement, then all right, title and interest in and to the copyrights to the Delivered Content shall remain with Company. In the event that Submitted Content is rejected by Company and Writer receives no payment under the terms of this Agreement, then all right, title and interest in and to the copyrights to the Submitted Content shall automatically revert back to Writer.
