Copyright Policy

What the Articled Copyright Policy Covers

We guarantee that every delivery contains original work written for you. All drafts are checked for similarity and AI before final delivery. Anything that registers a similarity check is investigated prior to final delivery to avoid any confusion should the delivery be published.

The warranty covers prose only; it does not include facts, ideas, or commonly used phrasing, none of which are copyrightable. Two different writers describing the same regulation will likely produce the same or similar sentences, and that will not be a case of plagiarism.

We follow normal practice for quotations, paraphrases, or reproduction of third-party material in articles. Normally, quotations must be short, must be attributed, and must be used to support a point, rather than to substitute the point. Anything that is longer than a short quotation must be flagged. If you would like to use it, you have to obtain our permission.

• Original prose, warranted and similarity-checked before delivery
• Quotations kept short, attributed and clearly marked
• Sources listed so every borrowed fact is traceable
• Licensed or third-party material flagged, never silently included
• No stock text, spun content or template reuse

How the Articled Copyright Policy Works

Similarity detection and AI detection are performed simultaneously for each submission. Matches to existing pages are not always issues. For instance, if a page contains a statistic, then a match to that page’s source will be justified. Also, a match to a thousand pages containing a certain company name is also likely valid. Therefore, each flag is reviewed by a person, rather than it being left up to a certain threshold to decide the outcome.

If a case of genuine copying is verified, the piece is not delivered. The writer is asked to explain, and based on the explanation, the work is reassigned or rewritten. Copied and pasted answers to writing assignments will result in an immediate end to a writer’s collaboration with us. This is not something we manage behind closed doors as it is plagiarism.

We do not supply images, and we do not source them. Where a brief mentions imagery, we outline potential image options(generally royalty-free), and you handle the licensing, because image rights are a genuinely separate discipline and pretending otherwise would expose you to a risk we cannot cover.

When the Articled Copyright Policy Applies

The warranty starts at delivery and never ends. Should a third party ever claim an infringement related to text written by us, you must notify us so we can examine the situation at our expense, provide the research behind the text, and replace or remove the textual component if the claim has merit.

Edits to the work do not trigger a redraft. Once work is delivered, warranty extends only to the work that we delivered; as is common with all warranties. This would apply to the expansion of the work, merging of work with other work, or the reuse of the work. We can only warrant what is considered a normal limitation of such a warranty.

This page describes our editorial practice and our contractual warranty. It is not legal advice, and any organization publishing at scale should have its own counsel review its position on copyright, licensing and fair use.
