Terms and Conditions

By accessing or using Editorial Links, creating an account, submitting an application, or submitting a project request, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not use the platform.

• “Editorial Links,” “we,” “us” means [Legal Company Name], the operator of the platform.
• “Platform” means the Editorial Links website, editor dashboard, and related services.
• “Editor” means an individual approved to publish content and maintain a professional profile on the platform.
• “Business” means an entity or individual using the platform to discover editors and submit project requests.
• “Content” means articles, profile information, images, and other material submitted to or published on the platform.
• “Credits” means Publishing Credits and/or Business Access Credits, as described below.

Editorial Links is a professional platform for discovering editors through their published work and facilitating legitimate content-production opportunities between businesses and independent editors. Editorial Links is not a marketplace for buying or selling guaranteed backlinks, and must not be used or represented as one.

You must be able to form a legally binding contract to use the platform. If you are using the platform on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Editor Account Approval

There is no open, public sign-up for editor accounts. Individuals apply, and Editorial Links reviews the application, including professional background and published work samples, before an account is created. Editorial Links may approve, reject, or request more information at its discretion.

Business Accounts

Businesses may use certain parts of the platform, such as submitting a project request, without a full account, and may also register an account to access features such as Business Access Credits where offered.

Account Responsibilities

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date.

Editor Profiles

Approved editors may maintain a public profile including their name or professional name, professional background, areas of expertise, and published articles. Certain profile information (for example, private contact details) is not made public and is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

Published Articles

Editors may submit articles for publication. Depending on an editor’s standing on the platform, articles may require editorial review before publication or may publish directly.

Editorial Standards

Published content must be original, accurate to the best of the editor’s knowledge, genuinely useful to a reader, and free of material that exists primarily to promote a product or place a link rather than to inform.

Content Rules

Content must comply with these Terms, applicable law, and any editorial guidelines we publish from time to time. Editorial Links may decline to publish, or may remove, content that does not meet these standards.

Maximum Two External Links Per Article

Articles may include relevant external references where they genuinely support the content, subject to a maximum of two external links per article and editorial approval.

Prohibited Link Practices

Editors must not use articles to sell, exchange, or guarantee links, participate in link schemes, or include links whose primary purpose is to manipulate search engine rankings rather than inform the reader. Violations may result in content removal and account action.

Publishing Credits

Publishing Credits are used by eligible editors to publish approved content on the platform. An admin may grant credits, and additional credits may be available for purchase where offered.

Business Access Credits

Business Access Credits are used by businesses to unlock eligible, otherwise restricted editor information or features where offered.

Credit Purchases

Where credits are available for purchase, pricing and payment terms will be presented at the time of purchase and processed through a third-party payment provider (see Payments and Taxes below).

Credit Deduction

The applicable number of credits is shown before deduction and is deducted upon your confirmation of the relevant action (for example, publishing an article or unlocking eligible editor information).

Credit Refunds

Except where required by applicable law or expressly stated at the time of purchase, credits are non-refundable once deducted for a completed action. [Insert any additional refund policy specifics applicable to your business.]

Credit Expiration

Credits may be subject to an expiration period, which will be disclosed at the time credits are granted or purchased where applicable.

Promotions and Complimentary Credits

Editorial Links may offer promotional or complimentary credits from time to time, subject to additional terms disclosed at the time of the offer.

Credits have no cash value unless expressly stated, cannot be transferred between accounts unless the platform expressly permits it, cannot be exchanged for backlinks, and do not guarantee employment, projects, publication, traffic, or SEO results. Credit rules may be updated prospectively, subject to applicable law.

Where the platform processes payments, they are handled by a third-party payment provider. [Insert payment provider name once selected.] Editorial Links may receive confirmation and limited transaction details from that provider without necessarily receiving or storing complete payment-card information. You are responsible for any taxes applicable to your use of the platform or payments you make or receive in connection with it, including taxes applicable to independent contractor income.

Business and Editor Relationship

Where Editorial Links facilitates an introduction or project opportunity between a business and an editor, the resulting working relationship for that project is between the business and the editor.

Project Agreements

Project scope, payment, deadlines, revisions and deliverables are governed by the agreement applicable to that specific project, whether that is a separate agreement between the business and editor or terms facilitated through the platform. Editorial Links may facilitate introductions or project opportunities but does not necessarily become a party to every contract between a business and an independent editor, unless a separate agreement expressly says so.

No Employment Relationship

Editors are independent contractors and are not employees, partners, agents, or representatives of Editorial Links, unless expressly agreed in writing. Editors are responsible for their own taxes, legal obligations, professional conduct, work arrangements, and agreements with clients where applicable.

No Guarantee of Work or Income

Editorial Links does not guarantee a number of projects, clients, or a level of income to any editor, and does not guarantee that any particular business will engage any particular editor.

To be extremely clear: Editorial Links does not guarantee backlinks, link placement, follow links, search-engine rankings, domain authority, traffic, indexing, or any other SEO performance outcome, for businesses or for editors. External links in articles must be relevant and editorially appropriate, not a deliverable being sold. Publishing Credits and Business Access Credits must never be understood or described as purchasing backlinks.

Users are responsible for the content they submit to Editorial Links. You must have the appropriate rights, licenses, permissions, or other lawful authority to submit any material, including articles, photographs, videos, graphics, logos, brand assets, product images, screenshots, documents, audio, quotes, names, trademarks, or other third-party material.

Copyright Ownership

Uploading or submitting material to Editorial Links does not automatically transfer ownership of that material to Editorial Links. You retain ownership of content you create and submit.

User-Submitted Content — License to Operate the Platform

Where necessary for operating the platform, you grant Editorial Links a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, reproduce, display, format, distribute, and technically process the material you submit, solely for the purpose of operating, displaying, and promoting the platform and the content on it, subject to the actual agreement in place and applicable law. This license is not an assignment or broader ownership claim over your work.

Images and Photographs / Logos and Trademarks / Third-Party Content

The same rights requirements apply specifically to images, photographs, logos, brand assets, and any other third-party material included in a submission. Including a company’s name, logo, or trademark in legitimate editorial content does not necessarily mean that company endorses Editorial Links or the editor, and users must not falsely imply sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, or authorization by any third party.

Editor Content

Editors remain responsible for the originality, accuracy, legality, and rights associated with their submissions. Editorial Links may review, reject, edit for formatting, restrict, remove, or request changes to content that violates these Terms, our editorial standards, or applicable law.

Business-Submitted Content

Businesses are responsible for ensuring they have the necessary rights to any brand assets, product photographs, company information, marketing materials, documents, data, or images they provide to Editorial Links or to an editor in connection with a project.

Permission to Display Published Content

By submitting an article for publication, an editor permits Editorial Links to display that article publicly on the platform under the license described above, for as long as the content remains published in accordance with these Terms.

If you believe material on Editorial Links infringes your copyright or trademark, or otherwise violates your rights, you can submit a complaint to us including:

• Identification of the protected work
• Identification or location of the allegedly infringing material (a URL is ideal)
• Your contact information
• A statement of your good-faith belief that the use is not authorized
• Confirmation of your authority to make the complaint on behalf of the rights holder
• Any other information reasonably necessary for us to investigate

We do not describe this as a specific statutory notice procedure (for example, under a named copyright statute) unless the applicable law has been verified for our operations; this section should be reviewed by qualified legal counsel and updated if a formal statutory process applies to your business.

Content Removal; Moderation Rights

Editorial Links may review, restrict, remove, or disable access to content in response to a credible complaint, legal notice, or identified violation of these Terms, and may moderate, edit for formatting, or decline to publish content at its discretion to maintain the standards of the platform.

Content on the platform must not include or involve:

• Copyright infringement
• Trademark infringement
• Plagiarism
• Fraud
• Malware
• Illegal content
• Defamatory or unlawful material
• Impersonation
• Misleading claims
• Unauthorized personal information about others
• Spam
• Manipulative link schemes
• Content designed solely to manipulate search rankings
• Content that otherwise violates applicable law

In addition to the content rules above, you must not misrepresent your identity or credentials, attempt to circumvent our verification or moderation processes, interfere with the platform’s security or normal operation, or use the platform for any fraudulent or abusive purpose, including manipulating credits, accounts, or published content.

Editorial Links may suspend or terminate an account, and may suspend or cancel associated credits, where we reasonably believe these Terms, our editorial standards, or applicable law have been violated, including for fabricated credentials, plagiarized or infringing content, prohibited link practices, or fraud. Where practical, we will aim to provide notice of the reason for the action.

Our collection and use of personal information is described in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to help protect the platform and information on it, but no online service can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials.

The platform may rely on third-party service providers (for example, hosting, payment processing, and analytics) and may link to third-party websites, including editors’ other published work or external references cited in articles. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third-party services or websites.

By creating an account or submitting a request, you consent to receive communications from us related to your account, application, or request, electronically, including by email.

The platform is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Editorial Links disclaims warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the platform, including as to its availability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. This disclaimer does not exclude liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law, and is not intended to suggest Editorial Links bears no responsibility whatsoever for the platform’s operation.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Editorial Links’ aggregate liability arising out of or relating to these Terms or use of the platform will not exceed the amount you paid to Editorial Links in the [insert applicable period, e.g. twelve (12) months] preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or [insert nominal amount] if you have not made any payment. Editorial Links will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit liability that cannot lawfully be limited in your jurisdiction.

You agree to indemnify and hold Editorial Links harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your breach of these Terms, or your violation of applicable law or third-party rights, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Editorial Links will not be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control, including natural disasters, internet or infrastructure outages, acts of government, or other events of force majeure.

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the platform at any time, including features related to credits, publishing, or account access, subject to applicable law.

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will revise the effective date below when we do, and where changes are material, we will take reasonable steps to notify users. Continued use of the platform after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of India, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, except to the extent applicable law requires otherwise for users in specific jurisdictions.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms will first be addressed through good-faith discussions between you and Editorial Links. If the dispute cannot be resolved through such discussions, it may be submitted to the courts having appropriate jurisdiction in Odisha, India, subject to applicable law and any non-waivable rights you may have to bring a claim in your local courts under applicable consumer protection laws.

Editorial Links may be accessed from different countries. Users are responsible for complying with the laws applicable to them in their location. These Terms are not intended to, and do not, override mandatory consumer protection or privacy rights that apply to you under the law of your jurisdiction where those rights cannot be waived by agreement. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights beyond those described here.

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be interpreted to reflect the parties’ original intent as closely as possible under applicable law.

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and any additional agreements referenced in them, constitute the entire agreement between you and Editorial Links regarding use of the platform, and supersede prior agreements on that subject between you and us.
