Authors who publish on the Platform retain copyright and ownership of their original works. By publishing on the Platform, authors grant the Platform a non-exclusive licence to host, display and distribute their work through the Platform’s channels for the duration of the publishing agreement. The specific terms of this licence will be set out in individual author agreements.

If a submitted idea is incorporated into a published work, the contributor will be credited in a manner agreed with the author, unless the contributor requests anonymity.
The Platform uses artificial intelligence as a collaborative tool in the creation of literary works. All content on the Platform is clearly labelled to indicate whether it was produced by a human author, an AI collaborator, or through a combination of both. The human author retains editorial control and responsibility for all published material.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge that AI tools have been used in the creation of content and that this is disclosed transparently throughout the site.
Authors on the Platform may publish under their own name or under a pen name. The Platform does not require public disclosure of an author’s legal identity. However, all authors must provide verifiable identity information to the Platform for administrative and legal purposes. This information will be held in confidence and will not be disclosed without the author’s consent, except where required by law.
You agree not to use the Platform to upload, share or distribute content that is unlawful, defamatory, abusive, fraudulent or that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others. You agree not to attempt to gain unauthorised access to any part of the Platform or its systems. The Platform reserves the right to remove content and suspend accounts that breach these standards.
The Platform is provided on an “as is” basis. While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of factual content (labelled as such), we do not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of any material on the Platform. Literary works labelled as Fiction or Faction are creative works and should not be relied upon as factual accounts.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Platform and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Platform. This includes but is not limited to loss of data, loss of profits, or reliance on any content published on the Platform.
The Platform collects and processes personal data in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. A separate Privacy Policy will be published before the Platform collects any personal data. Your data will never be sold to third parties.
These terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising from or in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
We reserve the right to update these terms at any time. Material changes will be communicated to registered users by email or through a prominent notice on the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform following any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
