Contributor Terms

1. Scope

These terms apply to anyone given an author or reviewer role in the SkillCrest Content Studio (“Contributor”). They supplement our Terms of Service and any separate written agreement covering payment. If there is a conflict, the separate written agreement prevails.

2. Originality and integrity

For every question, explanation or other item you submit (“Contribution”), you confirm that:

• it is your own original work, written from public exam objectives and official documentation;
• it does not contain or reproduce real exam questions, recalled questions or brain dumps, or any content you obtained under a vendor's candidate agreement or NDA;
• it does not copy third-party material such as books, courses or other question banks, except short factual references with a citation;
• it is accurate to the best of your knowledge, and cites a public reference where possible.

3. Ownership of contributions

When a Contribution is accepted for publication, you assign to SkillCrest all copyright and other intellectual-property rights in it, worldwide, so that we can use, edit, combine, publish, sell and license it in any form. To the extent permitted by law, you waive any moral rights in the Contribution, and you agree to sign any documents reasonably needed to confirm this assignment. Contributions that are rejected remain yours, but you grant us a licence to keep a copy for review records.

4. Review and editing

All Contributions go through editorial review. We may edit, merge, reject or retire any Contribution at our discretion, including to improve accuracy or to follow changes to an exam. Reviewers may not approve their own Contributions.

5. Payment

Where we pay for Contributions, the rate, the basis (for example per question accepted for publication), and the payment schedule are set out in your separate written agreement or assignment. No payment is due for rejected Contributions unless agreed in writing. You are responsible for your own taxes.

6. Confidentiality and access

Unpublished content, review notes, statistics and any learner data you can see in the Content Studio are confidential. Use them only to perform your role, do not copy them outside the Service, and protect your account with a strong password. Your access may be removed at any time.

7. Breach

If a Contribution breaches section 2, we may remove it, withhold or reclaim payment for it, end your access, and you agree to indemnify us against resulting claims and losses.
