Byrugani Author Terms & Conditions

Contributor & Guest Author Agreement

Important Notice for Applicants: By applying to become an author or contributor on Byrugani, you confirm that you have read, understood and agreed to these Author Terms & Conditions. You agree to provide truthful information and to follow these terms, applicable Indian law and applicable platform policies.

1. About the Byrugani Author Programme

Byrugani may accept voluntary contributors who wish to share educational, informational, creative, professional or opinion-based content with readers.

Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance, author access, publication, promotion, continued membership or publication of any particular article.

The Blog Owner retains editorial discretion over whether an applicant is accepted and whether submitted content is published, edited, delayed, rejected, unpublished or removed.

2. Voluntary and Unpaid Contribution

Unless a separate written agreement states otherwise, participation as a Byrugani contributor is voluntary and unpaid.

• No salary is promised.
• No commission is promised.
• No royalty is promised.
• No payment is due merely because an article is published.
• Participation does not create an employment relationship.
• Participation does not create a partnership, agency or joint-venture relationship.

Important: If Byrugani and a contributor enter into any future paid or commercial arrangement, that arrangement should be covered by a separate written agreement.

3. Author Identity and Information

Applicants must provide accurate information through the official author application form.

This may include:

• Full name
• Preferred display name or pen name
• Email address
• Phone number, where requested
• Country, state and city
• Professional or educational background
• Author biography
• Google Account email required for Blogger access, where applicable
• Website or professional profile, if voluntarily provided

The applicant must not impersonate another person, organization, institution or public figure.

If a pen name is used, the author remains responsible for all content submitted under that name.

4. Originality and Copyright

The author represents that submitted material is their own work or that they have obtained the necessary rights and permissions to submit and authorize publication of that material.

The author must not knowingly submit:

• Plagiarized content
• Copied articles
• Unauthorized translations
• Content copied from another website
• Copyrighted material without appropriate permission
• Material falsely presented as the author's own work
• Unauthorized photographs, illustrations, videos, audio or graphics

The author is responsible for obtaining appropriate permissions for third-party material whenever such permission is required.

5. AI-Assisted Content

AI tools may be used as writing, editing or research assistance where appropriate. However, the author remains responsible for the final content submitted to Byrugani.

The author must:

• Review AI-assisted material before submission.
• Check important facts and claims.
• Check citations and sources.
• Correct factual errors.
• Avoid submitting mass-produced low-quality AI content.
• Not knowingly submit fabricated references, quotations or statistics.
• Not use AI to disguise plagiarism or unauthorized copying.

Where the application form asks whether AI assistance was used, the author should answer truthfully.

6. Accuracy and Fact Checking

Authors are responsible for taking reasonable care with factual claims, statistics, quotations, dates, names, references and other information contained in their submissions.

Where appropriate, authors should provide reliable sources and references.

Publication on Byrugani does not mean that every statement in an article has been independently verified by the Blog Owner.

7. No Malicious, Fraudulent or Harmful Content

The following are prohibited:

• Malware or malicious code
• Phishing links
• Fraudulent material
• Spam
• Deceptive links
• Attempts to compromise accounts or websites
• Intentional harassment or threats
• Knowingly false allegations
• Content deliberately intended to maliciously damage another person's reputation
• Illegal material
• Material violating applicable platform policies

8. Defamation and Third-Party Rights

Authors must not knowingly publish false allegations about individuals, organizations, schools, companies, professionals or institutions.

Authors are responsible for ensuring that their submissions do not knowingly violate another person's copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity or other legally protected rights.

Special care: Articles discussing real people, allegations, disputes, accusations or potentially damaging claims should be supported by appropriate evidence and written responsibly.

9. Images, Videos and Other Media

The author is responsible for ensuring that any image, photograph, video, audio, illustration, chart or other media supplied by the author is legally usable.

Images found through Google Images, Pinterest, social media or other websites must not automatically be assumed to be free for use.

Where attribution or licensing conditions apply, the author must provide the required attribution or licensing information.

10. Publication Licence

The author retains ownership of copyright in their original work unless a separate written agreement expressly states otherwise.

By submitting content for publication, the author grants Byrugani and the Blog Owner a worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, reproduce, display, distribute, format, edit, adapt and promote the submitted content in connection with Byrugani and its associated publication channels.

This may include reasonable editorial changes such as:

• Grammar correction
• Spelling correction
• Formatting
• Headings and subheadings
• Article title changes
• SEO improvements
• Image formatting
• Excerpt creation
• Internal linking
• Social-media promotion
• Translation or reasonable adaptation for publication

11. Author Name and Profile Publication

The author understands that, if accepted, Byrugani may display approved author information together with the published article.

This may include:

• Author/display name
• Author biography
• Author photograph, if voluntarily provided and authorised
• Professional information
• Website or social profile supplied for publication

Private information should not be submitted for public display unless the author specifically intends that information to be published.

12. Editorial Rights

The Blog Owner may review submitted content before publication.

The Blog Owner may reject, edit, format, postpone, unpublish or remove content where reasonably considered necessary for editorial, legal, quality, technical, safety, platform-policy or other legitimate reasons.

Submission of an article does not create an obligation to publish it.

13. No Guarantee of Publication

Acceptance as an author does not guarantee that every article submitted by the author will be published.

The Blog Owner may decline an article where it does not meet the site's editorial, quality, legal or policy requirements.

14. Duplicate Publication

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the author should not knowingly submit the exact same article simultaneously to Byrugani and another publication where doing so conflicts with the publication rights granted to Byrugani.

If an article has previously been published elsewhere, the author must disclose this when requested and must have the necessary rights to submit it.

15. Affiliate Links, Advertising and Promotions

Authors may not insert personal affiliate links, advertising codes, referral links, tracking links, promotional links or sponsored material without prior approval from the Blog Owner.

Commercial relationships relevant to an article should be disclosed where requested.

16. Blogger Access

If an applicant is accepted as a Blogger contributor, Blogger author access may be provided through the Google/Blogger system.

Only the level of access necessary for the contributor role should be provided. Administrative access is not part of the normal contributor role.

Authors must not attempt to obtain unauthorized administrative privileges.

Authors must not add unauthorized users, alter blog settings, modify the template or interfere with the technical operation of the blog.

17. Account Security

Authors are responsible for protecting the security of their Google Account and authentication information.

Authors must not share passwords, verification codes or authentication credentials with other people.

Suspected unauthorized access should be reported to the Blog Owner promptly.

18. Access Revocation

The Blog Owner may revoke author access where there is a reasonable concern about policy violations, security problems, plagiarism, misuse, malicious activity, repeated violations or other legitimate editorial or administrative reasons.

Revocation of Blogger access does not automatically determine copyright ownership of previously created work.

19. Corrections and Complaints

Authors should promptly notify the Blog Owner if they discover a significant factual or other material error in their published content.

Readers or third parties may raise concerns regarding published material. The Blog Owner may review such concerns and take appropriate editorial action.

20. Author Responsibility and Indemnity

To the extent permitted by applicable law, the author remains responsible for claims arising directly from the author's breach of these terms, including unauthorized content, plagiarism, infringement, knowingly false information or unauthorized use of third-party material.

Nothing in these terms is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited under applicable Indian law.

21. Privacy and Personal Information

Byrugani may collect information submitted through the author application form for legitimate purposes connected with the author programme.

This may include:

• Processing and reviewing the application
• Communicating with the applicant
• Verifying author information where reasonably necessary
• Managing Blogger author access
• Maintaining contributor records
• Publishing approved author information
• Managing editorial and administrative matters
• Maintaining records of consent and acceptance

Only information reasonably required for these purposes should be requested. Applicants should not submit passwords, banking PINs, authentication codes, financial credentials or other unnecessary sensitive information through the author application form.

22. Google Form and Google Sheet

Author applications may be collected through a Google Form and stored in a Google Sheet controlled by the Blog Owner or authorised administrators.

Access to the response spreadsheet should be restricted to people who need access for legitimate administrative purposes.

The Google Form and Google Sheet are administrative tools and do not replace these Author Terms & Conditions.

23. No Employment or Agency Relationship

Acceptance as a contributor does not make the author an employee, agent, partner, representative or joint owner of Byrugani.

The author may not represent that they have authority to enter contracts, make commitments or speak legally on behalf of Byrugani unless separately authorized in writing.

24. Compliance With Law and Platform Policies

Authors must comply with applicable Indian law and applicable rules, policies and terms of the platforms through which their content is published.

This includes applicable Google and Blogger policies.

25. Changes to These Terms

The Blog Owner may update these terms when reasonably necessary to reflect changes in the author programme, applicable law, technology, platform policies or editorial requirements.

The version displayed on this page should be treated as the current version for new applications unless otherwise communicated.
